You
could not have picked a more appropriate play for my little
Peach to see.
I mean...remember the first
live elephant she ever saw? She's a bit on the
crazy side when it comes to
elephants.
Cue Saturday, we were invited to see
The Elephant and the Whale at the
Chicago Children's Theatre.
I really had
no idea what we were in for...and I was
blown away. Miss Peach was beside herself from the moment
Ella the Elephant came into the scene. Vintage cartoons, wooden puppets, actors and silhouetted projections were all used to tell the tale of
Ella, and her unbelievable friendship with the unfortunate
whale who found herself at the circus.
Being Mommy, I was worried that
Miss Peach would get upset if anything happened to our hero
Ella the Elephant. Happily,
Ella was a brave loyal elephant,
determined to get her whale friend back to the sea.
We jeered, cheered, got sprayed with water and had a grand old time!
If you are in the city, or coming to the city with kiddos, I highly recommend seeing the show.
Check out the
Chicago Children's Theatre for ticket info. The show runs through May 26.
*While I was given tickets to the show, all the views are mine, and there was no compensation for this post.
